How to Fix Error: node sass does not yet support your current environment

The Error: node sass does not yet support your current environment occurs in Python when you try to compile a Sass file using the node-sass library, and the version of node-sass you have installed is not compatible with the version of Node.js you are using.

To fix the Error: node sass does not yet support your current environment, upgrade or downgrade Node.js to a version supported by node-sass. If the node.js version is supported, you can use this command: npm rebuild node-sass.

If that doesn’t work, you can use the below command to fix the issue from the ground up.

npm uninstall node-sass && npm install node-sass

The issue is resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling.

However, you might need to indicate the version being installed while doing the installation. For instance, npm install node-sass@8.0.0 installs the most recent version before 5.0 to prevent the issue.

You can check the supported Node.js versions for the version of node-sass you have installed by referring to its documentation.

The alternate solution is to remove the node_modules folder and use the yarn install command which rebuilt the node-sass library.

Conclusion

You can follow the below steps to fix the Error: node sass does not yet support your current environment.

  1. nvm install 18.14.0 (downgrade node to the version that satisfies node-sass)
  2. nvm use 18.14.0
  3. npm install node-sass@8.0.0 (reinstall node-sass)
  4. npm rebuild node-sass
  5. npm start

If you want a simple solution to fix the error, use this command: npm uninstall node-sass && npm install node-sass.

That’s it.
